ICT, reports that its ruggedized UHF RFID tags, designed for tracking concrete, steel, pallets and other assets, are now available for less than a $1 apiece with volume orders. 

The tag, which contains a passive 900 MHz, EPC Gen 2 RFID inlay, combines human-readable format, a bar code and RFID. The inlay is sealed in a watertight, dust-proof plastic casing that can be permanently attached to products in harsh environments. It is available in three variations: Cast-A-Code for concrete (see Precast Concrete Manufacturers Use RFID), Steel Code for steel structures, and Pallet Code, which comes with an adhesive backing or screw holes for attachment. 

The ruggedized tag is available with a variety of RFID inlays from numerous vendors; the only requirement is that the inlay fit into the plastic casing, which measures 4 inches by 1 inch. ICT also offers TrackCon, a PC-based handheld computer with a reader that collects and compiles tag data for product identification, quality control and production-tracking applications. TrackCon can be linked with enterprise resource planning (ERP) and manufacturing resource planning (MRP) systems.
